Very thorough response makmac! On a related vein, I'm trying to set up a modem with my ancient Powerbook 145. It has an internal modem ( a tiny card about 1" X 3", with only the words "Apple Computer" to identify it), for which i can find no specs nor references. I also have a GV Flex external modem. What advice can you (or others) give me on my best options for accessing my internet services? I have an ISP, and a domain (and website). Email is my prime concern, not netsurfing (or netwallowing I guess on a PB145)... I'd appreciate any suggestions or directions, BEFORE I pry it open : ) martin -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
